Java Joe's

I really like this coffee shop and cafe. It's got a full food menu with big tasty breakfast and lunch burritos, with egg or tofu for breakfast, good red and green chile, good bagel sandwiches, gluten free crepes, and other foods. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I like theirs! It's not too strong for me and is smooth enough. It's one of the only coffee shops in Albuquerque that has an artsy, hang out sort of vibe. I've caught live music there- a singer songwriter playing guitar. It has a real local neighborhood vibe and is a fun place to go. It does get loud with the acoustics of the building. The staff are casual and nice.

This was a tough one bc it's a really cute place, but the food was just not very good. We had the Southwest Philly and The Turkey Melt both on focaccia, a side blue cheese salad, and the mushroom and wild rice soup.I'll start with the sandwiches. The real problem came from the bread. It was soggy on both sandwiches, but especially so on the turkey melt. I think if you're getting a hot sandwich skip the focaccia and get another bread. maybe also ask to get it extra crispy?The salad was really underwhelming and the salad dressing was clearly just Ken's blue cheese. (at least it's not hidden valley) too much red onion and the tomatoes were cut really thick.The soup was delicious, and if I could go back I'd probably just get a big bowl of that and some chips or something. Really well seasoned and filling.The restaurant is really cuta and in a nice location by the park, but the food is just not worth the trip.

Solid coffee shop and breakfast option in downtown Albuquerque. I particularly enjoyed the crepes, huevos rancheros, and lemon tea cooler. My partner, a self-appointed coffee snob, spoke highly of the espresso. A few pointers:1. There's more parking in the back.2. There's a strange inconsistency here in that if you order a crepe or drink, they shout out your name and you pick it up, but other orders are brought to your table by ticket number.3. It's pretty loud in here. 4. Not great for large groups. The tables seat four at most.

I'd been meaning to try this place for a while and yesterday I finally stopped in for a bagel sandwich and a hot cocoa. The atmosphere was friendly, service was pleasant and efficient, and my bagel and cocoa were delicious. Definitely a good place for a quick bite and hot drink downtown.

After leaving Knead in a mild huff, I did drive to Java Joe's for the Veggie Tofu Scramble that I craved. That was actually on their website site AND on their menu. I also ordered my fave, 16 oz Cappuccino with 2 shots. I could not be more pleased with the deliciousness! So much so that I almost forgot to snap a photo. Here's a partial meal. Sorry. Not sorry. Yummy! Cool cashier. I enjoyed the same simply chic vibe. I did order take out.

Java Joe's is one of my favorite spots for brekkie. Their coffee is also delightful! I only make it down there on weekends due to work, so I do suffer from the crowds. The dining room isn't huge and often times the seats are filled. We always find ourselves hovering to snatch a seat while the other orders. My go-to is their breakfast enchiladas with red chile. The enchi's come flat with black beans, choice of chile and eggs and lil garnish. It always hits the spot for me. They have a full menu of lovely items along with daily specials. You can get a fancy coffee or stick with the drip brew too. You'll be happy with either route I promise. When the dining room is full, it can get very loud, so be prepared to turn up your vocals a notch. It's favorite spot and you can tell.

This is one of my daughter's favorite place to study, the coffee is good too. We caught Java Joes at 3pm (they close at 3:30pm), kitchen was closed but custom coffee and tea were available... plus some amazing scones (did I mention the scones)! Roomy and comfortable atmosphere, very friendly and competent baristas! I'll be back

Good coffee, solid food and great service. Popular spot for regulars. Nice assortment of baked goods as well.

The platonic ideal of a coffee/breakfast/lunch spot. Green Chile Chicken Chowder is to die for, especially with the focaccia they put on the side. Good coffee, friendly fast service, cute colorful interior. 10/10!!

Friendly staff and food never disappoints. The best way to start your day in downtown ABQ.
